We report for the first time the formation of site-specific interstrand cross-linked (ICL) surface-immobilized furan-modified DNA duplexes via singlet oxygen. <sup>1sup>O<sub>2sub>, necessary for effecting furan-mediated ICL formation, was produced in situ using methylene blue or a zinc phthalocyanine derivative (TT1) as a photosensitizer. Via surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy, we show that surface ICL was achieved, and a robust link formed that enhances the stability of the 12-mer duplex even after surface regeneration. The described method represents a novel platform technology based on surfaces with addressable and stable DNA duplexes requiring only short oligonucleotides.
